Briya – Lado A/Lado B

Tom

No Halloween nonsense from me today. Instead here are the first two releases (or both sides of just one?) from Argentinian band Britya. Regardless whether it’s just the one release or two all the tracks here encompass many of the ingredients that make up indiepop with twee, dream pop, noise pop and fuzzy guitar pop alongside healthy does of punk and riot grrrl. It’s on the latter, particularly Tiempo, that they shine to these ears and it’s further evidenced on the shouty Todo Me Enamora. It’s all good fun and Briya provide one of the best debut releases I have … Continue reading Briya – Lado A/Lado B

Blanco – Wake With Moon Tide

Tom

Blanco’s second EP release is a rather pleasant way of spending an Autumn afternoon. The EP contains three excellent indiepop songs that encourage me to close my eyes, relax and day dream to my hearts content. Well until the EP finishes and I have to press the play button again! The remastered version of Kinyoubi No Yoru is the EP’s standout track but there are no fillers here. Not sure why I started singing Made of Stone during Let Me though…. Get it from here. Continue reading Blanco – Wake With Moon Tide

The Morelings – We Were

Tom

The Morelings debut album Same Century is out this week and We Were is the lead single taken from it. It’s a fine slice of luscious, polished dreampop and is a firm indicator of what the album may bring. Buy Same Century from here. The band have also covered The Psychedelic Furs classic Heaven for Highwire Days, The Psychedelic Furs´ Reverence tribute album that has recently been released by The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records. It’s a free download from here. Facebook Continue reading The Morelings – We Were
